Sassy Sue
Sassy Sue was a very sad senior girl as her owner had passed away, she ended up outside alone and in need of medical attention. A very kind lady took her in, got her the much needed medical attention and then helped her find her way to DDR. Sassy Sue was given a wonderful loving foster home and more medical attention while she was in DDR. Unfortunately was more ill than anyone knew, she always searched for her owner and we know she is now happy as she joined her owner at the Rainbow Bridge.

Rosie
Rosie was such a sweet girl. She never asked for much, she just wanted to be next to you on the couch and she knew she was loved. Rosie died very unexpectedly, we took her into our vet's office for a sore neck, we had been treating her for an ear infection. The vet had called and said we needed to change her treatment and I could pick her up after work. osie passed away 10 minutes after I arrived. Rosie was a stray in Plainsville, Nebraska, and her time was up at the shelter. A kind lady saved Rosie but couldn't keep her so she called us. Rosie was obviously a breeder girl. Her insides were full of infection when we took her to get spay, and she had to have several teeth pulled. She also had some scars that made us believe she was attacked by an animal or perhaps the breeder tried to get rid of her. Rosie was one of the sweetest dachshunds I have ever met, she is greatly missed.

Mitch
Mitch was our first family pet. He was our first adoption from DDR and one of the most memorable dogs we’ve ever met. With his constant smirk and three-legged trot, he always brought joy to our lives. He loved to play with our other dachshund, Mikey, who we also received from DDR. Before Mikey came along Mitch would spend his days sleeping, eating, sleeping, and occasional bark at the neighbor kids. Mikey got his lazy butt moving a little bit! After our daughter was born in September he loved to cuddle with her and lick all the extra drippings of milk from her face. Mitch began refusing food (and Mitch LOVED to eat) so we took him to the vet. He was diagnosed with immune mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) and died soon after. Coincidently my mother died about a week prior after a year long battle with ovarian cancer. Mitch absolutely loved my mom, and I can admit he got more excited to see her than he did our family. We are going to miss Mitch so very much! I miss him under the blanket as we watch TV and the excitement when we would get his bowl of food ready. He is now in heaven with my mom cuddling with her for eternity. Mitch was our first family pet. He was our first adoption from DDR and one of the most memorable dogs we’ve ever met.

Harley
Harley For the love of a dog On Dec 2nd, 2012 I received a call from DDR saying that my application for Harley had been approved and that I could come and meet him. That started a 17 month journey that ended in early May 2014. Harley was my constant companion as I worked and traveled around the oil fields of western ND. He met many new people and made many friends as we provided water for rigs that I service.Harley started to get sick on the 9th of May. I took him to the vet on Saturday the 10th and he was diagnosed with diabetes. A very strong effort was made to stabilize him ,but the night of the 12th he passed away. Harley will be very much missed by the people who knew him and by those of us who loved him. Rest in Peace, Harley! Your dad forever...I will see you at The Rainbow Bridge Charles Rambel

Shania
Shania you changed our lives forever! You were the cutest little girl, even with all your teeth gone you loved your treats and loved meal time. I loved loved when you followed with your buddy Tina and your brothers and sisters to the gate all perky waiting for your food and barking at me to hurry up :) Any time I went upstairs to grab something you sat at the bottom looking up waiting for me and barking at me to come back fast. You were so spunky even when your hind legs didn't want to cooperate with you, but that never stopped you one bit. You would enjoy smelling the grass looking up at the butterflies letting Scooter play with you and chase you around the house, you were a wonderful girl so full of life and spunk. I loved seeing your tail wag when I came and sat with you or laid next to you. I loved how your tongue hung out and you would lick my hand so I would pet you letting me know :) I loved watching you and Tina cuddle together and her laying her head on you or vice versa. Your dolphin toy boy did you enjoy that you could tear it up and make it squeak so loud and boy when you wanted it you moved fast to get it! You made us smile ALOT in the short 5 months and six days we got to enjoy you because of you our lives were so much fuller. I will miss rubbing your belly and watching you roll around on the floor being silly. YOU had so much love to give to everyone. There wasn't anyone you didn't like. So Monday night the vet told us you were in pain I wanted to be selfish and take you back home but I didn't want you to suffer so I hugged you and kissed you and kept telling you how much we all loved you and that you were such an amazing little girl. I kept telling you I hope you felt the love and knew how much you were loved. I sobbed hard watching the vet do what needed to be done, but I wasn't going to leave you alone in that room I needed to be with you I didn't want you to pass away alone. I looked into your eyes one last time. Did you know that did you see me, I hope you did, the vet said you looked like you were far away but I pray you saw me right in front of you our noses touching. Even as I watched you take your last breath it just about killed me, but I know your in heaven running and have all your teeth and not in pain. Tina & Taylor miss you sooo much they said goodbye to you yesterday I don't know if you know that but they did. We will NEVER forget you Shania Witt!! We will always miss you!! Earl,Veronica, Tina & Taylor Witt
